Abstract

A major scheme of works is carried out on the Dutch highways these years.A target of a maximum of 6% added congestion because of the road works was set for 2006. A program of mobility management was developed. Influencing behaviour is the most important part of mobility management. It affects the demand side of mobility, by offering attractive alternative ways to travel. This is in contrast to traffic management, which affects more the supply side; offering alternative routes during the trip. The program included the use of cheap or free public transport during the road works. The first two experiences showed a decrease in road traffic during the works andan increase in public transport ridership. In the case of the Amsterdam Zuidoostpas, even more people used public transport than the car to commutefrom home to work on some days. The dynamic process with many different projects is now being summarised and abstracted to a general approach for the possibilities of mobility management, looking further than just alternative transport. The different aspects of managing mobility by using alternative transport modes are discussed. For the covering abstract see ITRD E145999
